Ghislain Poirier and Face-T continue to mash things up with a fierce and stunning blend of soca and electronics. No doubt inspired by his Canadian homeland's embrace of Caribbean culture, Poirier's take on the genre is authentic feeling and is filled with much of the same energy that is expressed during the yearly Carnival. Fans of the Bug and Buraka Som Sistema should take note. This EP also features regular Poirier sidemen Mr. Slaughter and MC Zulu.
